“Cassidy did an AMAZING job house sitting for our 2 kitties for the 10 days we were on vacation. She read all 9 pages of instructions even before our meet & greet and followed the intricate feeding requests for both kitties. Each needs different dry food for UTI prevention and weight management, 1 needs a probiotic, they get a different bedtime snack - Cassidy was a pro following everything and reached out when we needed to troubleshoot for one of the kitties. She played with their favorite toys, took the cutest photos, and really cared about them. Her kind and gentle demeanor made it so easy for them to get acclimated quickly. This was our longest time away from them, but I felt completely at peace and reassured they were in great hands. Cassidy also left the place looking immaculate when we got back. The trash was even clean and she put our mail on the counter. When we came back, the kitties looked completely content and came up to us like, ‘Who are you and where is Cassidy?’ lol. She did a wonderful job and we already have her booked for 2 more house sits this Summer!”
“Kevin is a super nice guy. I am so glad we have him in our dogs lives and ours. I will take him anytime. He did a great job with our pups. They seem very happy.”
“This is our second time with Melanie! We had a 14 day vacation and she took care of our fur babies in our home so both our dogs and we felt comfortable on the lengthy time apart. She is responsive and gives updates throughout the time with our pets. Came home to a surprise Santa photo with the dogs which was super cute! She is respectful of our home and we trust her. Thank you again Melanie! Astro and Alani will look forward to our next planned vacation without them!”
“AMAZING!!! Susan was wonderful, and so accommodating. She took fantastic care of our furry family members and our home. I had so much peace of mind knowing they were in wonderful hands. Thank you so much Susan!!!”
“Maddie was fantastic- great communication, asked great questions, left our house spotless and skillfully cared for our three somewhat needy cats! Would highly recommend to everyone! Thank you again Maddie!”
“Jaden watched our 2 dogs this week, one of which is 1 year old with endless energy. He did an excellent job of taking care of our girls, even singing to and celebrating our older girls 7th birthday. Would definitely recommend.”
“Frances did such a great job house sitting our dogs and cats! Not only did she take care of our pets, but also she left the house in great shape for our return. We needed a sitter last minute and we are so glad we found Frances!”
“We’ve had Adam housesit for us a few times now and he always does a splendid job! We get pictures and updates every day. He takes time to learn the animals personalities and if he has any questions/concerns, he always asks which we appreciate! Our animals love him and he takes great care of our house too! We would absolutely have him housesit again!”
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for two years and absolutely love it. My family and I travel around the country and help take care of dogs. We understand the need for others to have reliable caregivers for their pets. I love using Rover for my own dog, and decided to start being a dog walker for others. I also enjoy cats, they are cuddly and adorable. We don’t have any cats but do enjoy several of our friends’ cats. I am comfortable caring for cats as well. I am flexible with the needs of other families and their pets, with enough notice I am sure we can work something out for the care of your pet. I can maintain any food and care routine that you have set forth for your pet in your home. I will follow diligently any schedule, rules, commands, and preferences that you have for your pet.
About: I bring immense experience to watching pups. Trail runs, neighborhood walks, or couch hangs — I can meet them where they are most comfortable. With a part-time work from home schedule, I’ll be giving lots of belly rubs and attention all day long. Im currently working part-time from home with a very flexible schedule — I have lots of time during the day to dedicate towards walks, play, and activities. Our house has a big back yard on a quiet neighborhood street. If you’re lodging with us, my sweet 7 year old pup Barley will be waiting at home to keep your pup company while they’re with us.
“Jyllian was amazing! She took amazing care of my senior dog and was attentive to all of his needs. She was great at communicating and sent pictures through the stay. She also left my house in perfect condition. She’s definitely the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!”
“Evan did such a great job watching our dogs today! This was our first time having him stay with them in our home and he made the whole day so much less stressful for us. He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the day, made sure everyone went outside and was comfortable. You can tell he genuinely enjoys animals and cared about making sure they were happy and relaxed. He was also really respectful of our home and even offered to help with chores before leaving which was so thoughtful. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely have Evan watch them again!”
About: I’m the proud human of a lovable (and opinionated) cat, so I know all about the art of earning feline trust—from slow blinks to the perfect chin scratch. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for family, friends, and Rover clients, caring for all pets regardless of their ability to pay rent with biscuits. Whether it’s belly rubs or laser pointer marathons, I’ve got it covered! I work full-time 9-5 and fully remote so I have the ability to work wherever needed, whether it be at home, cafe, another home, etc. Happy to go out on walks as much as needed and provide as much exercise as needed. I currently live in a duplex with plenty of room to roam both indoors and outdoors. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can roam and play
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid. I have several pets of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and responsibility that goes into keeping them happy and healthy. I also volunteered for years with Feline Finish Line at Petco, where I helped care for and socialize cats while they waited to find their forever homes. I’m an active, reliable, and caring person who genuinely loves animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared f I’m a current student athlete at college. I’m looking for more summer hours as it will fit into my schedule. I love to go on runs and walks everyday! I care for your pet the way you want me too. If you want me to walk or run your pet I will! I also can crate them, feed them, and play with them!

Cassidy did another amazing housesitting for our 2 kitties, Kit and Kat. The 2 litter areas are so clean, she plays with them tons in the evening, and is really great about last minute changes to their feeding instructions. Cadsidy continues to be incredibly reliable, punctual, and always keeps the apt immaculate! The kitties come right up to her now. I have full confidence in Cassidy and have already booked her for 2 more sittings this year!!!
Amanda was amazing! We didn't have to worry at all about our husky Lilly! She sent numerous pictures and messages to let us know how things were going back home. She went the extra mile by taking care of things she didn't have to like feeding our fishy, Thicc Shark and watering our plants. She was respectful, personable, and easy to work with. We will definitely be using her again! 5 stars all the way around!! Book with Amanda and you will not be disappointed. 😀
This is our second time using Sujeong and we plan to use her in the future. She provides so many updates and pictures. She communicates promptly and follows all care instructions. Our dog was so comfortable while we were away, which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our trip.
Amanda stayed at our home for 6 days with our Honey Girl while we were away on vacation. She kept in touch with updates, pictures, and even video chats. We knew our girl was in good hands which made our trip more enjoyable. Amanda also had our home like it was when we left which was much appreciated.
Jyllian was amazing! She took amazing care of my senior dog and was attentive to all of his needs. She was great at communicating and sent pictures through the stay. She also left my house in perfect condition. She’s definitely the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!
Annie came to our rescue when our booked sitter cancelled on us the day before our Spring Break family trip. We were not sure if we could find a good sitter on such short notice. Annie house sit for us and sent regular updates and photos that let us know that our dog and two cats were being well-taken care of. She literally saved our vacation! We cannot recommend Annie enough for juggling her own busy schedule to ensure our pets got the full care and attention we wanted for them. We will happily have Annie back to take care of our babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmdale on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Palmdale walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Palmdale maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Palmdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
